Chapter 2

6 years later

Over the years, Toushirou and Ichigo have been helping spirits. They would always bring flowers to their death places and talk to them. Little did they know that their lives were going to change soon.

"Ichigo! Shiro! Get down here and eat your breakfast or you're going to be late!" Yuzu called as she fried two eggs.

As Yuzu put the two eggs on separate plates, she heard footsteps coming from the stairs. But before she could say anything, they went right past Karin, who was eating her breakfast, and out the door. "Hey, wait! What about your breakfast, you two?!"

"We'll eat it later, just leave it there," Ichigo said as he and Toushirou left the house.

"Aww, I even fried an egg for each of you," Yuzu complained.

Ichigo and Toushirou had grown taller over the years and they still had their natural hair colors. Ichigo quit going to karate classes years ago, but he still uses them on his father who had always tried to do a sneak attack on him. Toushirou was now in high school with Ichigo, even though he's the youngest of the family, he was considered a child genius in all of his schools. He also shares a room with Ichigo and since it's small, they had to rearrange everything in the room to fit in another bed. And another thing that changed over the years is that Yuzu and Karin started calling him Shiro, which he really doesn't like, but Karin doesn't call him that as much as Yuzu does.

"Ugh, it's been six years already and Yuzu's still calling me by that nickname," Toushirou complained as he walked with Ichigo.

"Lighten up, Toushirou. Besides, we got to make a detour before we get to school," Ichigo told his little brother.

"Right," Toushirou replied. Lately, Toushirou and Ichigo has been visiting the death place of a little girl and leaving her flowers. She would always be at that exact place waiting for them.

At Karakura High School

The school grounds were filled with students ready for another school years. At that moment, a young boy with short black hair that are fanned out and wearing a Karakura High School uniform named Mizuiro steps off a car and stands in front of the tall building.

"A new school uniform and…," he thought and looked up at the school. "…a new school. I should act like I'm happy to be a new student here," he smiled and started walking towards Karakura High School.

"Are you even listening?!" a teacher yelled at a tall student that was known as a bully with light yellow hair. "This isn't even about the school rules! I can't believe that you bleached your hair!" the teacher continued yelling, but the student turned away when he spotted a tall Mexican teenager with baggy hair covering the teen's eyes.

When he saw the Mexican teenager, the bully ignored the angry teacher and walked after the passing teen. "Hey, Sado!" the bully called out. "Sado Yasutora, where's my hello? Huh?" he asked Sado.

"Who're you?" Sado asked in a calm voice.

"I'm Oshima Reiichi from Tohgata Middle School! Are you mocking me?!" Oshima yelled in annoyance.

The teacher walks up to them and tries to break it up. "Hey, guys…," he was quickly cut off by Oshima.

"Back off! I've got unfinished business with him!" Oshima yelled.

"Mi-zu-i-ro! B-b-big trouble, Mizuiro!" another student named Keigo yelled in panic to his friend, Mizuiro.

"Good morning, Keigo," Mizuiro greeted Keigo in a calm tone.

"Listen up! We're in big trouble," Keigo said still panicking.

Mizuiro didn't react to Keigo's behavior, he just calmly said, "You're so energetic in the mornings, Keigo."

"Mizuiro! How can you be so calm at a time like this?! Don't you know that Chad and Ichigo from Mashiba Middle School are coming here?!" Keigo was still panicking and yelling.

Mizuiro looked at his friend with a curios look. "Chad and Ichigo from Mashiba Middle School?"

"Right! Both of them decided to come to our school! I'm serious!" Keigo said. "And I also heard that Ichigo's younger brother, Toushirou, is coming to this school, too."

"OK, so why are you crying?" Mizuiro replied.

"Mizuiro, this is serious! Chad and Ichigo are violent punks with a bloody history! And Toushirou is a really scary guy and always hangs out with Ichigo!" Keigo explained to Mizuiro in the usual panicking tone. "Ichigo and Chad hang out with bad guys and smuggle drugs and read dirty magazines at the book store for five hours! There are thousands of rumors!"

Mizuiro looked back at Keigo. "So, their just rumors," Mizuiro said as he pulled a small book out of his pocket. "We won't know what they're really like until we meet them. And besides, why would this Toushirou kid be scary. Doesn't he have a reputation of being a child genius?"

Keigo was surprised at what Mizuiro just said. "What are you saying?! It's Chad and Ichigo! What other reason does this Toushirou have to actually hang out with one of them?! Who cares what they're like?!"

Mizuiro wasn't listening to what Keigo was saying because he was too busy looking over what he has to do when it was time to go to class. He then looked up at the bulletin board where the school had posted the classes.

"Hey, look. They've posted which class everyone's in," Mizuiro said. "We're in room 1-3."

Keigo finally calmed down a bit. "You can read that, Mizuiro? You've got good eyes." Keigo complimented Mizuiro.

Keigo then noticed that not only he and Mizuiro were on the same list but also Ichigo, Chad, and Toushirou's names were on the same list as theirs were.

Keigo put both hands on his head and started panicking again. "No way! That wasn't supposed to happen!" Keigo shouted.

"What's wrong?" Mizuiro asked as he looked down at Keigo, who was now kneeling on the ground.

"Our youth … it's finished already…," Keigo murmured.

Mizuiro then noticed some girls looking at him and waved to them. After the girls had a conversation about him, they left.

"I'm not threatening because I don't inspire high expectations. I'm never angry and smiling is just like striking a pose. Anyone can do it," Mizuiro thought.

Ichigo and Toushirou looked at the young spirit girl. For some reason, she was crying.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Toushirou asked.

"Yeah, did something happen?" Ichigo asked after.

The two ignored the people looking at them as more passed by.

"We brought you fresh flowers today," Ichigo said trying to cheer the girl up.

Toushirou smiled at the spirit. "You can tell me and Ichigo."

"He's right," Ichigo said smiling as well. "C'mon, what's wrong?"

The girl looked up at them and wiped away her tears.

"Well, it's kinda weird," the girl replied. Both Ichigo and Toushirou were confused at what she meant. They then heard the girl say, "The sky's weird. I'm scared."

Ichigo let out a questioning look. "The sky is … scary?"

Ichigo and Toushirou looked up at the sky to see why it was scary to the girl.

"The sky seems normal to me," Toushirou said.

"Yeah, me too," Ichigo looked back at the crying spirit girl.

"It's so scary," the girl murmured.

Ichigo and Toushirou tried to cheer up the girl.

"There, there now. The sky's not scary at all, there's nothing to be afraid of," Ichigo said trying to cheer her up.

The girl wiped away her tears and looked up at them. "OK"

"We got to get to school now. But we'll be back later to check on you," Ichigo said as he stood up.

The girl nodded to them.

Ichigo and Toushirou waved to her as they left.

Several minutes later, back at the school yard.

Keigo was still panicking and crying over the fact that he was in the same class as Ichigo, Chad, and Toushirou. "Oh, my perfect life is over! Why?! Why'd this have to happen?!"

All of a sudden, Keigo and Mizuiro felt a shaking and the bulletin board bursted in half right in front of them. Then they saw something go right over their heads. It was Chad and Ichigo fighting with a gang of bullies. They then saw a short white haired boy run up next to Ichigo.

"I-it's Chad, Ichigo and Toushirou!" Keigo yelled out at the site of them. Then he saw that there were more bullies gathering around. Mizurio just stayed calm.

Keigo was really scared now. "Wh-wh-wh-wh-what's going on?! I don't believe what's happening! This has gotta be some kind of sick cosmic joke! A dream! I must be dreaming!"

Mizurio looked at his friend. "Shut up …"

"Did you really think you could get away from me, Kurosakis, Chad?" Oshima the leader of the gang asked.

Keigo realized who the bully was right away. "Oh, no! It's Oshima Reiichi from Tohgata Middle School."

"Hey, Keigo! How come you know so much about these punks?" Mizurio asked plainly. "These guys are in our class, too."

Oshima looked over at Keigo and Mizurio. "Who're you?" Oshima asked. "Kurosaki's friend?"

"No way! This is my first time ever seeing him!" Keigo quickly replied.

Then Keigo saw Mizurio in front of Ichigo, Chad, and Toushirou holding out his hand. "I'm Mizurio Kojima from Hiiragini Middle School. I'm in 1-3. It's very nice to meet you."

"Mizurio Kojima just became their friend! Da-da-da-dun!" Oshima taunted as he cracked his fists.

Keigo started to cry out of fear. "He didn't! He didn't!" Keigo protested to Oshima while holding his hands in front of his face then he turned to Mizurio. "Mizurio?! Mizurio! What are you?! Come back here! This isn't like you! C'mon, Mizurio! Mizurio!" But Mizurio was too busy talking with Ichigo.

"1-3? We're in that class, too. I'm Ichigo Kurosaki. This is my little brother, Toushirou. And this big guy here is Sado Yasutora," Ichigo introduced. "It's nice to meet you."

"Who's your friend over there?" Toushirou asked as he turned his attention to Keigo who was getting stomped on by Oshima.

"He's Keigo Asano," Mizuiro introduced. "He's pretty smart although he never studies. He gets along with others and never lies. He's a way better person than I am."

Ichigo was a bit surprised by Mizurio. "Man, you're something else," Ichigo complimented.

Mizurio looked up at the teen, confused at what he meant by that.

"I mean, it's pretty rare for a person to praise their friend so much around strangers," Ichigo said as he turned around and unzipped his jacket. "Hey, Mizurio. Are you good at making excuses?"

"So good it's sickening," Mizuiro replied.

Ichigo got into a fighting stance. "Okay. Then think one up in the next five minutes. I'll need a good one to keep me from getting expelled after me and Chad save Keigo," he said as Chad walked up next to him. "Toushirou, stay outta this one. I don't want to take any chances at getting you expelled."

Before Toushirou could protest to his brother, Ichigo and Chad had already started fighting the gang of bullies.

Mizurio was surprised at how the three were so different from what he thought they would be like. "Who can I share this happiness with?" Mizurio thought to himself as he watched Ichigo and Chad fight.

Author's note: I'm starting to get lots of reviews about the squad 10 Captain. I'm still thinking of who's idea I should. I'll choose a someone's captain to put in the story, but it's going to take time, anyway thanks for the reviews.
